With a career spanning over six decades, Jackie Chan has become an international icon. Chan’s films have entertained audiences around the world for decades. The actor has been ruling the hearts of millions with his down-to-earth, humble, and charismatic personality.
A few months back, a scene from his newly released Chinese action drama film Ride On went viral on social media, in which he is getting emotional while watching his real-life film journey. The Drunken Master actor was seen getting teary-eyed as he saw a few scenes of his old movies with his on-screen daughter Liu Haocun.
Jackie Chan Watched His Journey in His Own Film With Teary-Eyes
His recent movie Ride On, directed by Larry Yang, ravishingly depicts the hard work of his mastery of cinematic skills, which Chan has been showcasing on the silver screen since he stepped into the spotlight.
An emotional scene from the movie went viral in which Chan, who played the eponymous character Lao Luo, stands with his daughter Xiao Bao and watches some of the most memorable stunt scenes from his real-life cinematic journey. Luo becomes emotional upon watching his film journey, which is quite iconic and a perfect homage to the action legend Jackie Chan’s real life.
In the video, a young woman called him “Papa” and that became a speculation among the fans whether that woman was Chan’s real-life daughter or not. Later, it was confirmed that she was Liu Haocun, the actor who portrays Chan’s daughter in the film Ride On.

Jackie Chan‘s biological daughter is Etta Ng Chok Lam, also known as Xiao Long Nu. She remains estranged from the actor.
While attending the premiere of Police Story 2013, Jackie Chan talked about how he ignored his daughter. The Rush Hour actor confessed emotionally:
“The story touched a part of me, especially during the crying scenes. I can’t help myself but break into tears when filming scenes with Tian Jing because it will remind me of my Xiao Long Nu. I have neglected her for the longest time.”
Xiao Long Nu earlier accused her father of being homophobic and suggests her s*xual orientation is the reason for her and her father’s estrangement.
Xiao Long Nu Never Regarded Jackie Chan as a Father
In 2015, she reportedly told E! News that Chan is her “biological father” but nothing more. She added, “He never existed in my life. I will never regard him as a father. As long as I have my mother with me, I don’t need my father.”
In 2017, Long Nu came out as gay on Instagram, and the following year she and her girlfriend, Andi Autumn, uploaded a YouTube video where they revealed that they’d been left “homeless” because of their “homophobic parents.”
Jackie Chan is Asia’s biggest superstar. The actor stepped into the American film industry in the 1980s and got his first role in the martial arts action comedy film The Big Brawl and steadily became one of the finest talents in Hollywood. On both domestic and global scales, his films have grossed millions of dollars, making him one of the highest-paid stars in the world.
